How to Measure Your Watch Strap Size

Leather watch strap worn on the wrist

Choosing a strap size sounds technical, but it comes down to two numbers. Here is how to get them right.

1. Lug width

The lug width is the gap between the two lugs of your watch - the little arms where the strap meets the case. Place a ruler across that gap and measure it in millimeters. Common sizes are 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm. That measurement is the first number in your strap size.

2. Buckle width

The buckle width is the narrower end of the strap, where the buckle sits. It is usually 2mm smaller than the lug width - so a 20mm lug often pairs with an 18mm buckle. On our straps you choose this as the second number.

3. Length and fit

Our straps are made to order, so if you have a larger or smaller wrist, tell us before you order and we can adjust the length. As a guide, a standard length suits most wrists between 6.5 and 8 inches.

Still unsure?

Email a photo of your watch and the lug gap to support@botirry.com and we will confirm your size before we start cutting.
